Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura

Arcanum is beautiful, engaging, has a nice story, beautiful lore, well-acted few dialogues, and strikes a nice balance between steampunk and classic fantasy. It belongs to an era where these things mattered more than fluid combat and shiny renderings, so if you are the kind of person that favors combat encounters this may not be for you. But if you are there to play adventurer, discover locations/people with their unique character and politics, uncover mysteries from the past, then do not hesitate to buy this gem.

Именно с этой игры, я начинал знакомство с РПГ. В свое время были локализации от семи волков и еще чья-то. Локализованную купил бы сразу, за любые разумные деньги.

I don't write long reviews, but this game is a masterpiece of game design. So many weird things to do. So many bugs that might be features. So much replayability.,

Arcanum was released long time ago, and for its time the game aged very well. This is the top game to offer a proper RPG experience with a great character stat building to suit any style. The game offers real-time combat but also turn-based combat if one would prefer such. Arcanum is all about choices, and choices matter. Voice lines are amazing and the depth of conversation and unique characters is outstanding. If I had to pick a company to remake this game for the latest tech with the best graphics, but still stick true to the story, character creation, combat and in-depth exploration, I would choose Larian studios. I've grown alongside this game and if I could, I would remake it so that people could experience the amazing world that Arcanum is.

A Fantastical Industrial Revolution, a combination yet to be seen anywhere else. Absolutely loved it and would recommend it to everyone who likes crpgs. But be sure to play with Unofficial Arcanum Patch by Drog Black Tooth, that will greatly improve your experience in many ways, as with other Troika Games releases the game on its own came out very buggy.
